I would assume that since you are talking about lube, you are planning on repacking these valves. I also assume that you are planning on converting to Chevron style packing on those valves that do not already have that type. I used to use a silicon based lube, that came in a green tube, but cannot remember the name right now. Most new packing kits come with this type of lube in a very small container.
